what about “it” ?
you told us about his her….i.e tyacha ticha….n bla bla bla
but how will u speak for “it’s”
means suppose we need to describe a cellphone’s featrures…so we’ll start by…. if u wana say it is samsung mobile
}”te samsung mobile aahe”
ok now we wana describe its features ok
so how will u say…. “It’s features are……”??????

Generally we consider mobile as an masculine object. So , you can use ” tyche or tyachi” when referring to a mobile.
and if u wana say ” it is a samsung mobile ” the you may say it is as ” ha samsung mobile aahe, hyache features ase aahet…..”

how do you understand whether a common noun is feminine or masculine.for eg. how do you know that the vehicle is feminine and it is “ti gaadi” or “te pustak”,etc. in hindi, marathi and french u have masculine feminine unlilke english???

There are no rules as such but in most of the cases, the word ending with the sound of -aa are masculine and those with -ee are feminine.
for example : Ghodaa (horse) = Masculine Gadi (vehicle) = Feminine
Kutraa (dog)= Masculine Mumbai = Feminine

Absolutely wonderful — never got down to learning the language while I was in school – it tortured me i.e. learning marathi in school … but now its a pleasure and so easy, you have done a wonderful job – see what you can do with regard to the school syllabus you have made learning fun and easy, i.e. this is exactly what our kids need in school. I will be using you site to help my granchild learn marathi. Thanks a ton and God blessyou. Your good work is really appreciated.

hi!….. Akshya bhau, i thought Marathi is typical but in this site the pattern of discription is very easy. It is my first day of learning and i am very happy. Thanks a lot.
i am little confuse about…………
“my name” in Marathi is “maze naav” then “my car” will be “maze car” or “mazee car”?
you have said that “naav” is neuter then what about “car”, we generally say in Hindi “uska naam , uski car”, please tell me someone as soon as possible.
